I'm requesting difficulty settings for one of my quest I'm making, i plan on having three different modes Easy, Normal and Hero Mode, Easy multiplies the damage taken by .5, Normal multiplies it by 1, and Hero mode is double the damage.
Difficulty settings

No i don't use a peril ring, i was hoping for someone to create a global script that can change enemy damage base on what difficulty you choose, if not maybe i can consider using your idea

Naru's method will work if you are not familiar with scripting. Here's some questions you should ask yourself before continuing:
- Do you plan on only having one global script, for this only?
- Do you know how to combine multiple global scripts if you wanted more in the future?
- Are you familiar with setting up pre-made scripts in a quest file?
- Do you know how to use the item editor pretty well?
You would also, more than likely need to script a dialogue for picking said difficulty as well.

To unlock the bonus dungeon in my quest you need to collect a specific amount of an item (In my case: The Goddess Crystal).

One easy example without extra script. You can add a string in the entry room or in front of the dungeon. Or in a house near the dungeon. Through string-codes you can check if you have no peril-ring and enough Crystals. If you fulfill the requirements you get a key for the dungeon. There are also multiple scripts that work with strings and are a great addition to your quest.

Are they collected through an extra counter with a script? Nope, To gather the crystals you need to find them in the each dungeon. On Easy mode (If the player chooses it), He\she can't enter the dungeon no matter if they collected the crystals or not.
Edit: ops my bad, yes they are collected through an extra counter with a script. Here's the Script.
//Attach this to the Pickup Slot of the item you need to collect 20 of. item script Dungeon_Item{ void run(){ Game->Counter[CR_SCRIPT1]++; } } //Use this script on the screen where you need to have 20 of an item for it to trigger the screen secrets. ffc script Open_Dungeon{ void run(){ while(true){ if(Game->Counter[CR_SCRIPT1] == 20){ Screen->State[ST_SECRET] = true; } Waitframe(); } } }

I think you just can change the script or add another ffc script so that the secrets trigger only depending on an additional factor. Can't help you with that though.
One possibility would be (if you use the peril rings and the item pickup script) to switch the crystals with mystery bags (no-eqipment) that include depinding on your peril ring either only rupees or a crystal. If the crystals are only placed in chests, it might be also possible to leave the string of the item-pickup empty beside the string-code, make the item not hold-up and without pickup-sound, but the item obtained through the string hold up. I don't know if this works like intended though and there should be easier ways.

Kind of unrelated, but f you're blocking the post-game dungeon from Easy mode players, you may want to include some sort of warning on the difficulty selection screen that says 'Some content may be blocked if you choose Easy mode." or something like that. That way it will be less of a surprise when they get there and it is blocked to them.

I myself have some serious trouble finding out how to do this. So sorry, I can't help you, but I would like to see this script too.

I was planning on doing that now that you bought it up.
